[PATCHv2] doc-rst: cec: update documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Update and expand the CEC documentation. Especially w.r.t. non-blocking mode.

Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx>

This depends on https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/35614/.

Changes since v2: update the documentation of the all_device_types and features
fields due to changes in the CEC API (these were ignored for CEC 1.4, but after
the pull request above they are no longer ignored).
